Blistex Silk & Shine®
What They Say: "Silk & Shine's unique silk and vitamin lip balm formula makes lips feel satiny smooth and enhances their natural appearance with a light glossy finish.
Super-Silky Lips: Silk & Shine feels satiny soft going on and leaves your lips feeling that way. Silk Extracts, special moisturizers and vitamins A, B5 and E help create a silky texture that makes lip surfaces smooth and supple. It feels great!
A Touch of Shine: Silk & Shine imparts a touch of sheer gloss to the lips for a healthy, finished appearance. Your lips will look as good as they feel.
Sun Protection: PABA-free Silk & Shine provides SPF 15 protection."
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Okay, so this isn't necessarily the Splurge of the Month, but for me, it's a luxury. I don't EVER go to bed without this. I've been a fan for a couple of years now. My husband is equally addicted to it. This soft, creamy balm is one of the most soothing I've ever felt, and when I use it I wake up with super-soft and healthy-looking lips. Plus, I like the hint of flavor, which is slightly minty and sweet. It's a pretty no-makeup option during the day, too, with its slight shine. I have one handy in almost every purse and several drawers as well as on my nightstand. Don't underestimate this balm just because it comes in a plastic case. I'm definitely not a product snob! If something works well, I fall in love with it. For the price, you might, too!
Retail Price: $2.99 (available on drugstore.com or your local drugstore, grocery store, or superstore!)
